Korner! My two daughters were
having a discussion about
family resemblance. "I look like Mom," said my
nine-year-old, "but I have
Dad's eyes and Dad's lips." The six-year-old said, "And
I look just like Dad, but I
have light hair." Then she turned to
me. "Mom," she asked,
"what does Dad have to do with us being born
anyway?" Her older sister jumped
right in. "Don't be silly. Dad
is the one who drove Mom to the hospital." (Kathy Parsons is a

Greetings Coalition Family! As we watch the tapestry of other governments change, and the U.S. involvement,
have you ever stopped to ask who decides on which side of the conflict our loved
ones are directed to fight? I’m advised by friends in the political arena and particularly
my friends in the business community, “When in doubt, follow the money trail.” It is
painful to think that the lives of our troops have a dollar value. “Some things have intrinsic value because they are essential to human life and
comfort… food, clothing, shelter, clean air and fresh water. Other things have extrinsic
value because you are told so… gold, pearls, rubies, diamonds, etc, To what does it
speak of a culture that bases its economy on shiny stones.” - Madu “We each hold a piece to the puzzle.” – Dr. John Elliott Churchville “Communicate… Cooperate… Collaborate” FOR OUR CHILDREN
“It is easier to build children than it is to repair men.”…Frederick Douglass Cap4Kids Hint of the Week Food insecurity, food emergencies, fresh food options. All pressing concerns for
many Philadelphia families. On the www.cap4kids.org/philadelphia website, under the

Delaware Avenue Philadelphia, PA. This exciting and festive event will include lots of live entertainment, jugglers,
magicians, caricature artists, chair massages, cotton candy, popcorn, soft pretzels,

cancer at Pink Playground. This year’s award recipients include: Elaine Groban of Susan G. Komen for the Cure - Philadelphia Affiliate who will receive
the Advocate's Award; Lorina Marshall Blake will receive the Survivor's Award; and Patricia K. Bradley, PhD, RN will receive the Quality of Life Award. All funds raised will benefit Bebashi’s, “Our Bodies” breast health initiative. “Our
Bodies” identifies medically underserved women of color in metropolitan Philadelphia,
and links them to resources that provide breast cancer screening and diagnostic
services. “Our Bodies” educates women on how to reduce the risk of getting breast
cancer and refers eligible participants to healthcare facilities and providers for
screenings and tests related to breast health. Women of color are less likely to get
Breast Cancer, but more likely to die from it. An increase in screenings, can detect
abnormalities sooner and potentially save lives. Tickets may be purchased on-line at
http://bebashi.ticketleap.com/pink-playground or by contacting Bebashi at
215.769.3561 x-140. Ticket prices are as follows: Early bird donation is $55 before October 20th; $65 from
October 21st through November 2nd; and $70 at the door. About Bebashi: Bebashi was founded in 1985 in response to increasing incidences of

information, direct service, research, and technical assistance to the urban community
in the areas of sexual health and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Our

Gustavo Castro, an environmental chemist at Sao Paulo State University, suspected that we might be overlooking valuable properties in the peels. "I have heard for a long time that we usually throw out the best part of the fruit and that most of the nutrients and proteins are in parts not used by us, such as the peels," he told the American Chemical Society in a podcast. "From there, I decided to make an initial experiment to determine the chemical composition of the peel." Castro found that banana peels contain nitrogen, sulfur, and carboxylic acids, which, he noted, bind with positively-charged heavy metals often leached into water from mining or industrial runoff. Since many methods of removing metals from the water are expensive and toxic, Castro thought he might be on to a more natural method of cleaning drinking water. He and his colleagues chopped and dried bits of banana peel and combined them with water from Brazil's polluted Paraná River. The peels stood up to other types of commonly-used filtering products like silica and carbon, and scientists found that the peels could be used up to 11 times without losing their purifying powers. And they were cheap. "I was surprised to learn that something so simple could work so well," said Castro. "I believe banana peels can be of great importance in water purification." But one important question remains: With banana skins going to a good cause, what will pranksters use for a good-old fashioned peel pratfall? ----- Coalition members!

involved in servicing the needs of the residents in our community. This year our
organization will be sponsoring our 2nd annual blanket drive to collect blankets for
members of our community. The name of this project is “Operation Blank Out the Cold.” The goal of this effort is to supply at least one blanket to the more than one hundred
families that will be in need of such a resource. The belief of K5DCN’s is that there
are people such as you, your company, churches, agencies, and other organizations
that would be interested in participating in such a worthy project. Last year thanks to
many such as yourselves we collected 100 blankets. We know that because of the
high cost of energy, and the financial crisis that our country continues to experience,
our neighbors need our help. Due to health reasons we request that your donations be
new blankets. K5DCN also knows that it was supporters like you who help us in
September 2011 when we gave away 245 schoolbags full of school supplies. The dates we will be collecting blankets are Saturday November 16, 2011 through Saturday November 30, 2011. The following place is a drop-off point for your contribution.1216 South 52nd Street
(11am-3pm) Monday thru Saturday. Please call for five blankets or more, we will pick
up.

recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture,
society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. Pauline Kael African American Museum seeks volunteers The African American Museum in Philadelphia collects and preserves art and artifacts and, through exhibitions and programs, interprets the history and stories of African Americans and those of the African Diaspora.

We must come together as unified people to help stop and control it. By creating The Women's Solo Project, I wanted to bring this issue to the forefront and get people talking about it. If we continue to let this issue be taboo, then nothing will get done." says Tyra Wright-Johnson, President and survivor.

A: All of our coupons are actual manufacturer coupons. Fewer and fewer retailers accept coupons that are printed from

accepted everywhere that coupons are accepted. Q: Can these coupons be doubled? Q: What are the face values and the expiration dates of these coupons?
